Hi everyone.

We have been ttc for around 3 years on and off. My af was all over the place since I came off cp 3 years ago, it would be regular for about 3 months the I wouldn't see the for another 3 months. I did fall pregnant when I came off the pill... but sadly I lost it at 7 weeks. I was really upset about it and blamed my dr. for not taking me seriously... I even phoned him and said "I am really in pain and there is alot of blood down there" and he responded with "ah well you're obviously having a m/c but it's only early anyway so it's common, don't over-react". And yes, it was only early, I didn't need a d&c... but it was still a horrible and heartbreaking feeling.

Needless to say I changed drs... and then they did a check up straight away due to me not being able to conceive. They sent me for an Ultrasound, then a HSG, which confirmed I have PCOS and one blocked tube, then he referred me onto a gynae. The gynae sent me and oh for a few tests, then he prescribed me with Clomid... of which I am now on round 7 (I think )

Watch this space...

and to everyone!!

Gen - Good to see you here too

Chelle - I can't believe a DR would say that, it's disgusting isn't it?

I'm glad you've got yourself a new Doc.

Can I answer

I had a difficult TTC journey....

• I cut down on caffine & went to half-caf
• I swapped vodka & bacardi for less when I wanted to have a weekend drink or something completely different - in fact had not drank it in 2 months I think or between 1-2
• I took prenatal vits
• Raspberry drops
• Baby aspirin daily

Through the hospital I had two treatments

• Fragmin - thinning of the blood (did this twice)
• hCG injections 3 times a week at home *eek* (my OH thinks this helped, sadly not that time but think the the boost did in the long run succeeding with Moo...not sure though)

My experience was chemical pregnancies & 1 ectopic. Took over a year to suceed & know that my problems went further back but just didn't catch on or investigate it in short.

Course you can answer! Thanks for sharing.

I've heard a lot of people talk about baby asprin.
What does it do?

I actually looked for some in the pharmacy the other day
but only found "childrens panadol" which I don't think is the same.

Hi Woobles...

I havn't been trying for that long but it sure does feel like forever

I went and had a tubal reversal in oct 02 and then waited way to long to go to the doctors to find out what the problem was, in all this time dh and I have never used anything. We did finally get pg in October of o7 but had a m/c. DH had his swimmers check and everything came back ok I went in and had a hsg in Jan and found out that I only have one tube I also found out I am border line pcos. The rest of my blood work was fine So I was put on 50 mg. of clomid , the first month it made me O but from my right side but that is no good right tube is blocked. So i go tomorrow to find out how the 2nd cycle of clomid worked. I just pray I will be O from my left this month. Good luck to all of you Sending tons of

Hiya

We've been ttc for about 28 months now, my cycles are all over the place, usually between 50-60 days!! I have had lots of blood test's which have all come back fine, OH has had SA which is also fine, although they said his motility is a little slower than average, but nothing to worry about. So we have now been refered to the infertility clinic, just waiting for the appointment to come through!!

I'm currently taking prenatal vits and OH is taking zinc vits, have also joined the gym so I can try to loose weight to see if that helps! I think it has done something as started going at the begining of my last cycle and the cycle was only 39 days!!

Wishing everyone lots & lots of xx

I was TTC for 18months - as soon as I decided it wasn't going to happen for me I got a BFP and am now the proud mother of a lovely four month old son. I am a great believer in that the stress of trying can often impact on conceiving, I know some many people that had also given up only to find out they were pregnant a month later. I know it's easier said than done but just try to not stress too much about it and hopefully that will aid things along. Good luck and keep enjoying the TTC!!!
